This my speed with Verizon in my sisters living room. I can't wait till this is the normal, unfortunately it's dependent on the area. iPhone 5s USB tethered to rMBP, in the center of the home... lots of walls in the way. :::..

The 42 Mbps you got looks like what might be about the max throughput for the iPhone 5s. That's about what I get on the 5s using WiFi thru my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n. The AEBS is hooked to a 100 Mbps router and then the 100 Mbps cable modem. When I'm getting about 42 on the iPhone with Wifi, my Ethernet wired connected iMac gets about 52-54 Mbps, the max of my plan.....I only get that consistently from about midnight to 8 AM. When I run the iMac with WiFi running and Ethernet disconnected, I get the same numbers as with it wired. So I think the 42 Mbps number is about max for that phone. Amazing that you can get that on a phone connection. With my AT&T LTE, I'm getting about 11 Mbps avg on the iPhone. That's about 3-4x faster than my IPhone 4 was on AT&T. If I remember right, it usually came in at about 3 Mbps.

My alternative is a 1 Mbps capped Cox connection. I've been trying to talk my sister and brother-in-law into upgrading. multithread and upload Hey, at least it's performing exactly at their package speed. It's funny when your cell phone is 40X faster than the land connection.
